Jennie is a young lady who commissions supported living services from Independent Options. She is also a freelance artist and is working on a new not for profit community enterprise, Jennie’s Art.

Jennie’s Art will see the Stockport-based artist create bespoke pieces of art, including cards, mugs, and many other items as a way of sharing her love of art. Any money made will contribute to creating more products, as well as supporting Jennie’s favourite local charities.

With delicious cakes and refreshments, as well as an exhibition of Jennie’s work, the launch party will be held on Sunday 15th May from 2-4 pm at Stockport Advocacy (48 Middle Hillgate, Stockport SK1 3DL).

Isla's Story

Isla is three and a half years old and has been coming to the Children and Family Centre for around two years with her family.

At first Isla had no diagnosis, but it was clear to her parents that something was different from an early age as she had a short attention span and would have regular crises if other children came near her. Her speech was also delayed and she didn’t speak or make any verbal noises until the age of three.

By coming to The Centre, play around other children was normalised for Isla as she began to get used to other children being around and she loves coming to The Centre now. She enjoys the freedom to play in the garden or inside with the toys and crafts. Isla responds well to the staff and volunteers at The Centre and is confident to ask for help.

“Isla has speech and language delay but one of the first words Isla spoke was when she shouted “Messy Play!”, so we knew then how vital it was for her to come here.”
